The Titans are for real. They have a really good o-line, a good defense and are going to give every team they play fits. The Skins are a well coached and talented football team and look way more solid than the Bills. The jury is still out on the niners. The Bills are a mystery at this point. Our offense is predicated on Fitzpatrick being quick and accurate and our defense is a sieve. So, get some thicker skin and learn to write in English.

The Vikes drafted christian ponder in the first round last year, I doubt they would spend next years first on another QB.

Thanks! Just set the DVR.

Two words. Mushroom. Tattoo.

I've tailgated in Houston. Not bad. Miami is a joke.

Some places in the northtowns near the transit entrance to the 90 for a quick getaway...Froghair (a great place to check out), Brennans (Excellent pub food), quaker steak and lube (chain...not my style plus I refuse to eat anywhere with lube in the name), Buffalo Brew Pub (good food, lots of beers not sure about tv situation), Dave and Busters (if you like that kind of thing), Tully's (not a fan, but its always mobbed).

Little known fact...The G on the Green Bay helmet stands for greatness.

I'm with you. He reminds me of a lumbering qb who, in his best year, threw for 17 touchdowns. Fitz, like Neil O'donnell, is merely the caretaker of a power running offense. Very astute observation. I'm guessing you're a doctor or scientist of some sort. Did you attend Harvard with Fitz?

That is an incredible picture. Love the blue.

I get my smug, self-righteousness from not painting groups of people with a broad stroke. Where do you get yours? Or does thinking you're better than me, because I smoke a little pot, not count as smug, self-righteous and breathtakingly ignorant?

Very astute observation. At least Jerry Sullivan gets paid to be wrong. You're just giving it away.

No way.

I bet a lot of people thought Oj was a classy dude.

Freddie reminds me of Thurman. Like Thurm, Freddie runs with patience, has incredible balance, lacks breakaway speed (which terrell davis had) and makes quick lateral moves to set up blocks.

Drew Bledsoe was an alcoholic who would bring a bottle of Crown into the film room and drink the whole thing. He was drunk more than he wasn't. True story. Edit: I was part of a conversation with Russ Brandon after he had a few drinks. That's where I heard this.

Wgr sounds like a college radio station. Do yourself a favor and get sirius. NFL radio is incredible and you can listen to ESPN, NHL radio, fantasy sports radio and so much more. Then, if the sabres make the playoffs (thats right...if. I know wgr has them locked in) you can tune into that AM static when hockey is actually relevant. For the record, I play hockey and have season tickets to the Sabres. For whatever reason, like many people I know, I'm not that into the NHL until the NFL, the NFL playoffs and even March Madness is over. Regular season NHL games are only slightly more compelling than the NBA.

Nick Mendola dot com? His opening line is one of the worst sentences I've ever read. Am I the only one sick of these lone wolf wannabe reporters?

So true. Unfortunately, they still let him write a column on Sundays. He is obviously out of touch. At least he can use old age as an excuse. Sullivan is a lifelong hack. He's a mediocre writer and, worse, a schmuck.

Finally, someone who gets it.

Oh my god, why is everyone saying that??? It's all I heard over the weekend. I went to two parties and it was all Hurricane Irene this, Brad Smith is dumb that.

Foster at 5 is a steal. He should be the consensus #1 pick. Barring injury, he's Terrelle Davis. I had him last year. Dude is special. He has a great O-line and he's perfect for the Kubiak system. One cut and go. Plus he has breakaway speed and had over 60 catches last year. My only concern is he gets the ball too much. If you draft him make sure to get the handcuff late. Derrick Ward or, more likely, Ben Tate if he's healthy. The four people who passed on Foster are idiots. Dead money. Chris Johnson? Is he actually going to play in Tennessee? If he does how are a new head coach and his prolonged layoff going to affect him? I like letting other people find out these things....there's nothing worse that a wasted first round pick. While McFadden could easily be the #1 fantasy player this year, his fragility is a huge concern. However, I think he's worth the 5 pick. If Jamaal Charles is there, grab him. The guy is electric, his yards/carry is through the roof, the coaching staff knows how to keep him fresh and he catches balls. AP seems like a safe choice and probably is, but that O-line scares me. Ray Rice seems to be in a great situation and is definitely worth the 5 pick. However, and this is just me, I rank him lower than everyone above besides Chris Johnson and that's only because of the situation.

This. Yesterday's show was ridiculous. I listened for five minutes, sighed and switched to Sirius.

I realize I'm guilty of bumping this thread and keeping it alive, but can we please get this fake journalist's name off the front page. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as bad publicity. Even though this guy is nothing more than a rumor monger, people are going to remember his name. He will profit when they visit his site. The good news is, this guy's judgement is so bad ("may my kid get hit by a car if im lying" who says that?) that he will pull a stunt like this again. Eventually he'll get a well deserved reputation for being an idiot, but until then he wins. That bothers me. At least change the title to, "Pat Moran fails journalism 101."

When I started reading this thread I had no idea who Pat Moran was. After the tweet about his kid, I'm sure he is a world class idiot and am praying for this Merriman thing to be wrong so he goes away. Leave journalism to journalists.
